A white-tipped dove standing on a fallen tree washed in sun.

The world doesn’t need wars. It needs accountability. Release the files. 🪶 #itsabird

It is pretty.

Thank you!

Thank you! 😊

A yellow bellied brown winged white head with black face banded bird sits proudly on a large branch.

I get pretty excited for almost every bird I see and looking through my photos I generally remember each encounter. Some are a little more memorable like the Great Kiskadee on South Padre Island, TX that kept us company several times at a favorite birding spot. 🪶 #itsabird

Birds do make things better!

Why thank you! ☺️💚

A grey bird with white belly and brownish wings spread wide as it shakes off the weight of compulsory tasks.

I completed my taxes today and to celebrate this wildly inefficient and completely ridiculous system I’ve chosen the Yellow-billed Cuckoo as my Bird of the Day. 🪶 #itsabird

🙏 thank you, Marina!

A bright red male northern cardinal in profile.

Went to the Latte Da production of The Glass Menagerie. It was beautifully done and I enjoyed it immensely. It got me thinking about what birds would look good in glass and I thought the Northern Cardinal would be an excellent choice. 🪶 #itsabird

Thank you so much! ☺️

A white-throated sparrow on the ground with its head slightly cocked.

After a successful juggling weekend with a lot of photography I’m happy to be back to looking at birds. I can kinda guess where they’re going and and how they behave. The same can’t always be said about jugglers. 🪶 #itsabird

An American robin just standing on some brown turf with a hint of fresh grass coming up in the foreground

Plenty of winter left here but the milder temperatures sure make it feel like spring isn’t that far off. 🪶 #itsabird

A cedar waxwing in Blaine, MN. It’s perched perfectly on a diagonal branch. Brown bird with yellow lower body and dark black mask.

Bird photography will always be my favorite but I’ve long wanted to do more wildlife, sports, and events. This weekend I get an opportunity to take some pics at a circus arts variety show and I’m super stoked to learn something new. 🪶 #itsabird

A Northern Hawk Owl sits atop a power pole. Brown bird with big helmet shaped head and football shaped body.

This SuperbOwl looks like a football. Happy Sunday y’all. Be safe. 🪶 #itsabird

A Canada Jay eyeing some peanut butter. A smol white bird with grey wings and long tail

Watched Heated Rivalry today so my Bird of the Day is the Canada Jay. Seemed about as fitting as any (except maybe a loon). 🪶 #itsabird

A soundproof room in Minneapolis with a duck emoji representing Duck dining in a soundproof restaurant.

Perfect.

A Baltimore oriole female (best guess) splashing around a shallow bird bath. Yellow bird with grey wings and white belly.

Splish splash oriole taking a bath. Happy weekend, folks! 🪶 #itsabird

👏

A rock dove on brown stone pathway. Mostly shades of grey and with an apathetic gaze about it. Probably just thinking about wearing a fancy hat someday.

I do love a pigeon at that park. This one was pretty used to folks being around at The Regent’s Park, London. 🪶 #itsabird

A great egret (Greg) snacking on a rodent in a field.

mICE out of MN! 🪶 #itsabird

A medium sized bird standing in short green (mangrove) vegetation. Mostly browns with a small head and long black beak. Willet happen today?

Today my Bird of the Day is the Willet. This one standing on a beach covered in fresh growth. Not a common bird where I’m from so fun bird to see when I do make it to the coast. 🪶 #itsabird

A flycatcher - (least or willow maybe) perched proudly on a communications wire

I would like to not get shocked every time I touch something grounded. 🪶 #itsabird

Black bird with yellow head and neck sits high in a tree seemingly looking straight down in a very sad birb pose.

This Yellow-headed blackbird seems to have a case of the Sunday Scaries. #itsabird 🪶

An osprey perched by its nest on a power pole its head facing back over its shoulder. The line insulators directly in front of it.

Powerful Osprey. #itsabird 🪶

Song sparrow at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge in Portland, OR it stands at the end of a moss covered branch a nice profile view and the bird is keenly aware of my presence.

One of the unexpected absolute joys of my life is now whenever I travel I make time for birding. I get to see more and feel more connected to the places I find myself in. 🪶 #itsabird

That’s amazing. Excellent shot!

A Sandhill crane moseying away from the camera in high grass heading toward a shady spot just ahead.

Cranes have been coming up in my little bubble a lot lately so I thought I’d post one. This one goes back a ways (2022) but remains as one of my best Sandhill photos. 🪶 #itsabird.

Nice shot!

Thank you ☺️
